How The US Plays Out Australia

 

This is another example of how the US is habitually playing out its allies:

US frozen beef exports to China has surged in recent months, to serve aa an alternative channel of supply, while Beijing blocks imports of beef from Australia.

US exported US$107 million worth of frozen beef to China in July, compared to just US$35 million from Australia, China's traditional exporter.

China informally banned a series of goods from Australia, including coal, timber and wine last year amid 18 months of souring relations between Canberra and Beijing.

How can ASEAN countries trust the words of Kamala Harris?

Singapore and Vietnam leaders will be fools if they failed to see through the thin veils of unrespectful US diplomatic aggression, intruding into and invading the peace and tranquility of the region by inflammatory rhetoric to stir up troubles instead of ensuring long-lasting peaceful co-existence.

In the past 200 years or more, everywhere that the US poked a finger into, there was war, conflict and/or disaster. For example, Afghanistan, Horn of Africa, Indian Ocean, Iraq, Libya, Nepal, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, and, if course, the famous US-Vietnam War, just to mention a few.

Even Australia, the staunchest supporter and ally of the US, has been played out wholesale. How can anyone trust the US any more than trusting the little boy who cried "Wolves!"?

Singapore will be the next victim in the US play-out book.

The imbeciles think being Bananas must join the US clique to go against China.

They are betraying the trust of the people and the Old Guards.

China will take her own sweet revenge in good time.

Thinking that Vietnam had some issues with China in the South China Sea, Alamak tried to add fuel to the fire, with toxic vitriol against China, hoping to turn Vietnam to their side. It probably embarrassed the Vietnamese and did the exact opposite, with the Vietnamese PM calling the Chinese Ambassador straight away, to assure the Chinese that Vietnam will not side with the USA against China.

Logically, why would Vietnam ever want to side with the USA after they destroyed the country, the effects and sufferings are still clearly visible decades after the war itself.

Vietnam also remembers the help given by the Chinese during the Vietnam War against the USA. Their issues with China are minor compared to the issues wrought by the USA. Moreover, Vietnam is still highly dependent on trade with China, more so than the USA. Do they want to suffer another catastrophe by taking sides? Surely not!

Expect the Aussies to dump more wines and beef here. But prices not much down. Maybe still too much old stocks at old prices need to clear first.

'But prices not much down'

That is expected. In fact besides those things, prices of other stuff not from Australia are increasing like a country with no Government.
